Chapter 13: Q.13.21 (page 532)

Figure 13.7 shows side-by-side boxplots of independent samples from three normally distributed populations having equal standard deviations. Based on these boxplots, would you be inclined to reject the null hypothesis of equal population means? Why?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The null hypothesis of population means is impossible to reject.

Step by step solution

01

Given Information

Consider three normally distributed populations with equal standard deviations in box plots.

02

Explanation

We may deduce from the box plots that there is no significant variation among the sample means when compared to the variation within the samples.

As a result, the null hypothesis of population means must be accepted.

Magazine Ads. Advertising researchers F. Shuptrine and D. McVicker wanted to determine whether there were significant differences in the readability of magazine advertisements. Thirty magazines were classified based on their educational level-high, mid, or low - and then three magazines were randomly selected from each level. From each magazine, six advertisements were randomly chosen and examined for readability. In this particular case, readability was characterized by the numbers of words, sentences, and words of three syllables or more in each ad. The researchers published their findings in the paper "Readability Levels of Magazine Ads" (Journal of Advertising Research, Vol. 21. No. 5, pp. 45-51). The number of words of three syllables or more in each ad are provided on the WeissStats site.

a. Obtain individual normal probability plots and the standard deviations of the samples.

b. Perform a residual analysis.

c. Use your results from parts (a) and (b) to decide whether conducting a one-way ANOVA test and the data is reasonable. If so, also do parts (d)-(e).

d. Use a one-way ANOVA test to decide, at the 5%significance level, whether the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that a difference exists among the means of the populations from which the samples were taken.

e. Interpret your results from part (d).
